Description of the engines:
Powered by the renowned Pratt & Whitney PT6A-42A engine delivering 500 shaft horsepower, this aircraft represents a significant step up from high-performance piston aircraft. It cruises effortlessly at approximately 243 knots, with a maximum speed of up to 265 knots, while maintaining a fuel consumption of around 40 gallons per hourresulting in a highly efficient and well-balanced operating profile.
A range of around 1,000 nautical miles, supported by a fuel capacity of 170 gallons, makes the aircraft ideally suited for both business and private missions.
Takeoff performance is impressive, requiring approximately 743 meters (2,438 ft) over a 50 ft obstacle, while landing distances are as short as 643 meters (2,110 ft).
A particular highlight is the recently installed 5-blade composite MT propeller (STC, 2026), delivering tangible performance gains: a reduction in takeoff ground roll by approximately 10% to just 1,485 ft (453 m), a 4% increase in climb performance, and an improvement in cruise speed of approximately 3 knots.
Avionics:
The cockpit of this Meridian is centered around the proven Avidyne Entegra EX5000 avionics suite, featuring both two PFD and one MFD. This system provides clear, well-structured flight information and forms a solid and reliable foundation for IFR operations.
A significant enhancement to this platform is the integration of the Garmin GTN 650Xi touchscreen navigators, STC-installed in 2020. This modern unit combines GPS/NAV/COM and situational awareness functions into a compact and highly intuitive interface, significantly improving overall cockpit efficiency.
The system integrates seamlessly with the existing avionics suite, creating a well-organized cockpit environment.
Supporting systems include weather radar, Stormscope, TCAS, dual transponders, DME, and the S-TEC Magic 1500 autopilot, resulting in a comprehensive avionics package designed for safe, efficient, and confident all-weather operation.

Exterior:
Overall: 8/10
The exterior of this Piper Meridian reflects both performance and purpose, combining a timeless design with the unmistakable presence of a turboprop aircraft. Finished in a classic white upper fuselage with a deep dark blue lower section, complemented by refined red and silver accent stripes, the aircraft presents a clean and confident appearance on the ramp.
While the paint shows minor signs of wear consistent with normal use, it remains in very good overall condition thanks to continuous hangarage, careful ownership, and ongoing maintenance with great attention to detail.
Interior:
Overall: 8.5/10
The interior presents a bright, clean, and inviting cabin
environment, combining comfort with practical functionality.
Finished in a light and elegant color scheme, with beige leather seats and side panels complemented by a white headliner, the cabin conveys a distinct sense of space and openness.
The interior is in very good condition, showing no signs of wear such as tears or damage reflecting careful use and consistent attention to detail.
The pressurized cabin, air conditioning and original Piper sunshades further enhance the comfort, allowing occupants to benefit from high-altitude performance without compromise. Integrated USB power outlets add practical convenience, while the 5-blade propeller contributes to a noticeably quieter and smoother cabin environment.
Additional storage space behind the rear seats accommodates approx. four carry-on bags, providing sufficient capacity for both short business trips and extended weekend travel.
